A Detailed Lesson Plan in Science Grade 8

I. Objective
At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to;
a. Classify Vascular and Non Vascular Plants according to their characteristics.

II. Learning Task

A. Subject Matter : Two Major Group of Plants

B. Science Concepts:

 Vascular Plants – are also known as as Tracheophytes or higher plants.

They consist of vascular tissues, which is made of
Phloem and Xylem that is responsible for translocation
of nutrients and water thughout the body.
Include ferns, conifers, and flowering plants.
Could either be seed bearing plants and spore-bearing
Plants.
Have true stem, leaves and roots.
 Non Vascular Plants- those which do not have tissues to transport
water and food.
Do not contain Xylem and Phloem Tissues.
Liveworts, mosses, and hornworts belong to non
vascular plant group.
They do not have true steem, roots system or leaves.
Smaller in size.

C. Process Skills: Classifying and Exploring

D. Values Focus: Conservation and preservation of plants (Vascular and Non Vascular
Plants), Collaboration of ideas during the teaching-learning process on Vascular
and Non Vascular Plants.
E. Teaching Strategies: Disccovery Learning and Inquiry Method
F. Materials
G. Reference:

III. Developmental Skills

TEACHER’S ACTIVITY STUDENTS’ ACTIVITY

A. ELICIT

Class, this afternoon, we will be

having a game “4Pics 1Word”

I will group you into three groups.

As you can see on the board, there (The students group themselves into four
are three illustrations. In every groups)
illustration, you can find four boxes
of pictures.

What are you going to do?

 All you have to do is to fill in the
blank with the letters to form the
word that corresponds to the four
pictures above.
Yes Ma’am
Are you ready?

Okay! Let the game begin.

B. ENGAGE

What are the words that you have

formed according to the pictures Roots, Stems, Leaves, Flowers
shown on the illustrations?

What do you think are these things? Plants/Parts of Plants

Very good!

Okay, based on the game that you

played, we are going to tackle
about Plants and it’s two major
groups.
(Students Group themselves into three)
But before that, we are going to
have an activity and again I’ll group
you into three groups.

Our Activity this afternoon is about

classifying Two Major Groups of
Plant.
Criteria of Ratings
For the criteria of rating your scores. Creativity .............................. 30%
Please refer on the board. Cooperation of the Group ....... 30%
Everybody please read. Presentation .......................... 50%
________________
Total 100%
I’ll give you 15 minutes to do your
activity. Your time starts now!

C. EXPLORE

Group 1 will complete the Retrieval

Chart and Present their group by
means of a News Casting

Group 2
D. EXPLAIN

Time is up! Kindly post your work on

the board. The first one to perform (Group 1 will present their work)
is group 1.

Let’s give the group 1 Aling

Dionesia Clap.

Next group is group 2. (Group 2 will present their work)

Let’s give them a Fireworks Clap.

Last Group to present is Group 3. (Group 3 will present their work)

Let’s give them Smart Clap

E. ELABORATE

Okay! Let’s check your work. Based

on the activity that you have done ,
who can give me the characteristics
of Vascular Plants?

Correct! What Else?

How about the characteristics of a

Non Vascular Plants?

Can you give an example of a Non

Vascular Plant?

Very Good!

So where can we usually find this

kind of plants?

Why do you think Non Vascular

Plants cannot grow bigger or taller?

Exactly! So what is the difference

between Vascular and Non Vascular
Plants?

How can we classify Vascular and

Non Vascular Plants?

Very Good! So if will give you

different pictures of plants, can you
classify them if it’s Vascular or Non
Vascular Plant?

Class, based on our discussion, who

can give an important role of plants
in our Environment?
 Very Good! But class, do you think
Non Vascular Plants also have
important roles in our environment
even if they are small? Why?

Very Good! Is there any questions

regarrding our lesson for today?

F. EVALUATION

Direction: Classify the following plants whether Vascular or Non Vascular. Cite at least three
characteristics of each plant. Write your answer in a ¼ sheet of pad paper.

PLANTS VASCULAR NON VASCULAR CHARACTERISTIC

Tawa-tawa Plant
Malunggay Plant
Jackfruit
Narra Tree
Green Algae

G. EXTEND

1. List down at least 5 plants that can be found in your backyard. Classify whether it
belongs to the Vascular Plant Group or Non Vascular Plant Group. Give its
characteristics.
2. Study about the group of plants under Vascular and Non Vascular Plants.
